Detailed Description
Distilled in Spring 1974, this legendary bourbon has had a whole book written about it: “The Best Bourbon You’ll Never Taste” by Charles K Cowdery. Bottled from a single 400 barrel batch commissioned by Adolph Hirsch and distilled under contract at Bomberger’s distillery, just outside Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania the home of the legendary Michter’s whisky. Referred to in inner circles as ‘gold foil’, this 2003 bottling was produced by Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky. While the earlier bottle was overseen by Julian Van Winkle III. In 2003 Sazerac acquired the Pappy Van Winkle brand. Distilled in the Kentucky pot-still tradition, this incredible bourbon is considered by many to be one of the best in existence. This unique whiskey has a complex history of ownership giving it a legendary origin of near mythic status. Get it while you can.
